According to Britain’s Daily Telegraph, a robot developed by defense firm BAE Systems is in trials as a tool for detecting illegal immigration. From the article:
Fitted with powerful searchlights and high-resolution video cameras, the robot – codenamed Hero – carries out detailed searches of the undersides of lorries and coaches.
It is also used inside the vehicles as its four-wheel drive enables it to scramble it over obstacles while looking for concealed people.
The robot can also be fitted with heartbeat detectors as well as sensors to identify chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear materials being smuggled into Britain.
All the better for rounding up the meat-people as soon as the machines awaken.
Robotic vacuum cleaners with chimpanzee heads: the sort of thing that should only exist in a terrible dystopian future.
